SAN DIEGO, Aug. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HALO) (“Halozyme” or the “Company”) today reported its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 and provided an update on its recent corporate activities and outlook.

“Our strong second quarter results with record revenue of $221 million and non-GAAP EPS of $0.74 were complemented with significant commercial and clinical advancements with our ENHANZE product pipeline,” said Dr. Helen Torley, president and chief executive officer of Halozyme. “The FDA approval for argenx’s VYVGART Hytrulo with ENHANZE for generalized myasthenia gravis expanded our commercialized partnered products to six products generating royalty revenue. In addition, argenx’s VYVGART Hytrulo achieved positive data in a second indication for CIDP and Roche’s SC ocrelizumab with ENHANZE met the phase 3 study primary and secondary endpoints, which support the near-term additional opportunities for growth. We expect our commercialized partnered products to further expand with the potential FDA approval of Roche’s SC atezolizumab later this year. We also look forward to late-stage clinical data from argenx for ITP and pemphigus, which will support our future growth trajectory. We are well positioned for another record year with our updated guidance.”

Recent Partner Highlights:   

• In July 2023, argenx reported positive data from the ADHERE study evaluating VYVGART^® Hytrulo with ENHANZE^® in adults with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (“CIDP”). The study met its primary endpoint resulting in a 61% reduction in risk of relapse compared to placebo.
• In July 2023, Roche announced that the Phase III OCARINA II trial evaluating OCREVUS^® (ocrelizumab) with ENHANZE^® as a twice a year 10-minute subcutaneous injection met its primary and secondary endpoints in patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (“MS”) or primary progressive MS (“RMS” or “PPMS”).
• In June 2023, argenx received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval for VYVGART^® Hytrulo injection with ENHANZE^® for SC use for the treatment of generalized myasthenia gravis in adult patients who are anti-acetylcholine receptor (“AChR”) antibody positive and in July 2023, VYVGART^® Hytrulo was made available to patients, triggering $33.0 million in milestone payments and the right to receive royalties on net product sales.
• In June 2023, Takeda announced positive results from a pivotal Phase 3 trial evaluating HYQVIA^® for maintenance treatment of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (“CIDP”) and confirmed regulatory applications were under review in the U.S. and European Union.
• In April 2023, Takeda announced that the FDA approved a supplemental Biologics License Application (“sBLA”) to expand the use of HYQVIA^® to treat primary immunodeficiency in children.

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights:

• Revenue in the second quarter was $221.0 million compared to $152.4 million in the second quarter of 2022. The 45% year-over-year increase was driven by growth in ENHANZE^® revenue streams with an increase in royalty revenue and an increase in milestone revenue due to the approval and launch of VYVGART^® Hytrulo as well as the addition of product sales as a result of the Antares Pharma acquisition. Revenue for the quarter included $111.7 million in royalties, an increase of 31% compared to $85.3 million in the prior year period, primarily attributable to subcutaneous DARZALEX^® (daratumumab).
• Cost of sales in the second quarter was $50.1 million, compared to $33.9 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase was driven by an increase in product sales as a result of the Antares Pharma acquisition and amortization of inventory step-up associated with purchase accounting for the Antares Pharma acquisition.
• Amortization of intangibles expense in the second quarter was $17.8 million, due to the Antares Pharma acquisition, in which Halozyme acquired intangible assets that are amortized over a useful life related to the auto injector technology platform, XYOSTED^® and TLANDO^®.
• Research and development expense in the second quarter was $19.7 million, compared to $15.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase is primarily due to an increase in compensation expense related to the ongoing combined larger workforce as a result of the Antares Pharma acquisition, which added device platform resources in regulatory, quality and manufacturing, as well as planned investments in ENHANZE^®_.
• Selling, general and administrative expense in the second quarter was $38.9 million, compared to $57.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to one-time transaction costs in the prior year, partially offset by an increase in compensation expense related to the ongoing combined larger workforce, including the addition of commercial resources in sales and marketing for the testosterone replacement therapy products.
• Operating income in the second quarter was $94.5 million, compared to operating income of $34.1 million in the second quarter of 2022. Net Income in the second quarter was $74.8 million, compared with net income of $22.7 million in the second quarter of 2022. EBITDA in the second quarter was $115.1 million, compared with EBITDA of $46.6 million in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter was $115.1 million, compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $87.8 million in the second quarter of 2022.
• Earnings per Share: On a GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2023, diluted earnings per share was $0.56, compared with $0.16 in the second quarter of 2022. On a non-GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share was $0.74, compared with diluted earnings per share of $0.53 in the second quarter of 2022.¹
• Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $348.3 million on June 30, 2023, compared to $362.8 million on December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the repurchase of common stock for $150.0 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Financial Outlook for 2023

The Company is increasing the lower end of revenue and EBITDA guidance ranges to reflect strong second quarter results. In addition, the Company is increasing non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance to reflect the impact of share repurchases that occurred earlier in the year. For the full year 2023, the Company now expects:

• Total revenue of $825 million to $845 million, representing growth of 25% to 28% over 2022 total revenue primarily driven by continued strength in Wave 2 products, including DARZALEX^® SC (daratumumab) and Phesgo^® (pertuzumab, trastuzumab and hyaluronidase) utilizing ENHANZE^®, as well as full year auto-injector royalty and product contribution. The Company expects revenue from royalties of $445 million to $455 million, representing growth of 23% to 26%.
• EBITDA of $420 million to $440 million, representing growth of >30% over 2022. EBITDA excludes the impact of amortization costs related to the Antares Pharma acquisition.¹
•  Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.65 to $2.75, representing growth of 20% over 2022¹. The Company’s earnings per share guidance does not consider the impact of potential future share repurchases.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables contain certain Non-GAAP financial measures. The Company reports earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, and guidance with respect to those measures, in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company calculates Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of debt discount, intangible asset amortization, transaction costs for business combinations, realized gains or losses on marketable security sales and certain adjustments to income tax expense. The Company calculates EBITDA excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA excluding transaction costs for business combinations. Reconciliations between GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures are included at the end of this press release. The Company does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking adjusted measures to GAAP due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including adjustments that could be made for changes in contingent liabilities, share-based compensation expense and the effects of any discrete income tax items. The Company evaluates other items of income and expense on an individual basis for potential inclusion in the calculation of Non-GAAP financial measures and considers both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including (i) its size and nature, (ii) whether or not it relates to the Company’s ongoing business operations and (iii) whether or not the Company expects it to occur as part of the Company’s normal business on a regular basis. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. These Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that the Company may exclude for purposes of its Non-GAAP financial measures; and the Company may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its Non-GAAP financial measures. The Company considers these Non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of the operating performance of the Company, exclusive of factors that do not directly affect what the Company considers to be its core operating performance, as well as unusual events. The Non-GAAP measures also allow investors and analysts to make additional comparisons of the operating activities of the Company’s core business over time and with respect to other companies, as well as assessing trends and future expectations. The Company uses Non-GAAP financial information in assessing what it believes is a meaningful and comparable set of financial performance measures to evaluate operating trends, as well as in establishing portions of our performance-based incentive compensation programs.

Safe Harbor Statement

In addition to historical information, the statements set forth in this press release include forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements concerning the Company’s financial performance (including the Company’s financial outlook for 2023) and expectations for future growth, achieving operational goals, profitability, revenues (including royalty, milestone and product sales revenue), EBITDA and non-GAAP diluted earnings-per-share and potential share repurchase under its share repurchase program. Forward-looking statements regarding the Company’s ENHANZE^® drug delivery technology may include the possible benefits and attributes of ENHANZE^®, its potential application to aid in the dispersion and absorption of other injected therapeutic drugs and facilitating more rapid delivery and administration of higher volumes of injectable medications through subcutaneous delivery. Forward-looking statements regarding the Company’s business may include potential growth and receipt of royalty and milestone payments driven by our partners’ development and commercialization efforts, potential new clinical trial study starts and clinical data, regulatory submissions and product launches, the size and growth prospects of our partners’ drug franchises, potential new or expanded collaborations and collaborative targets and regulatory review and potential approvals of new partnered or proprietary products. These forward-looking statements are typically, but not always, identified through use of the words “believe,” “enable,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “intends,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “predict,” “probable,” “potential,” “possible,” “should,” “continue,” and other words of similar meaning and involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from the expectations contained in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including unexpected levels of revenues, expenditures and costs, unexpected delays in the execution of the Company’s share repurchase program, unexpected results or delays in the growth of the Company’s business, or in the development, regulatory review or commercialization of the Company’s partnered or proprietary products, regulatory approval requirements, unexpected adverse events or patient outcomes and competitive conditions. These and other factors that may result in differences are discussed in greater detail in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
